Conditions of Sale 


1. Rejection of Bids. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or 
which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the auctioneer if in his judgment 
such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 


2. The Buyer. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises between two or more 
bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 


3. Identification and Deposit by Buyer. The name of the buyer of each lot shall be given im- 
mediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a card giving the lot number 
amount for which sold, and his or her name and address, , ' 7 
A i at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the purchase prices as may 
e required. 
If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so purchased may at the option 
-of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 


4. Risk after Purchase. . Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter neither 
‘the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss or any damage to any article occasioned by 
theft, fire, breakage or any other cause. 


5. Delivery of Purchases. Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon payment of the total 
amount due for all purchases at the sale. 


6. peerete’ Bills. Goods will be delivered only on presentation of a receipted bill. A receipted bill 
presented by any person will be recognized and honored as an order by the buyer, directing the delivery to 
the bearer of the goods described thereon. If a receipted bill is lost before delivery of the property has 
been made, the buyer should immediately notify the Association of such loss. 


TE ae in Default of Prompt Payment and Calling for Goods. Articles not paid for 
in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following that of the sale may be 
turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse until the 
time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other 
charges will be charged against the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or 
storage will be upon the purchaser. ; 

- Inany instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the day following that of the 
sale, the Association reserves the right, any other stipulation in these conditions of sale notwithstanding, in 
respect to any or all of lots so purchased to cancel the sale thereof or to re-sell the same at public or private 
sale without further notice for the account of the buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any losses and 
costs sustained in so doing. 


8. Shipping. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the Association is in no 
wise engaged, but the Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current 
and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on 
its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 


9. Guaranty. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly and endeavors therein 
and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made 
either by the owner or the Association of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or 
condition of any lot and_no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or im- 
perfection not noted or pointed out., Every lot is sold ‘‘as is’? and without recourse. 

Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the Association will give con- 
sideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued 
and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, 
who thereby will become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 


10. Records. The records of the Auctioneer and the Association are in all-cases to be considered final 
and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and seller as the value against which all 
claims for losses or damage shall lie. : 


11. Buying on Order. Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on orders trans- 

mitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. 

Any purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, except that, in the event of a 

purchase of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his agent been 

present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be returned within ten days from 

ee date of sale, and the purchase money will be refunded if the lot in any manner differs from its catalogue 
escription. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as to leave no room for 
misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated 
to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the 
bid per volume or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Associa- 
tion, a deposit must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. 


Priced Catalogues. Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session thereof, will be furnished by the 
Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copying the necessary information from 
the records of the Association. ! 

No person other than the auctioneer or an official of the Association is authorized to arrange conditions 
of sale different in any way from those herein contained.

| width, 214 inches. In an artistic mat of French gray in a gilt frame and 
glazed. A wash border, on mat, surrounds drawing. — mS 


The height of Beardsley’s fantastic creations is evident in this curious delineation:

ORIGINAL DRAWING > a BEERBOHM, WITH AUTOGRAPH VERSE 


30. BEERBOHM (Max). ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR DRAWING SIGNED, ‘* Max, 1909.” 
Height, 12 4; width, 634 inches. -Mounted within a decorative wash border. 
Matted in a narrow black frame and glazed. 


SPLENDID DRAWING. An interesting caricature Onn Beerbohm’ s satirical brush, of 
a young damsel clad after the fashion of the day, the costume completed by an im- 
‘mense hat, long dark gloves and a cane: The artist lamentingly writes of. her: 
- “She dwelt among the untrodden ways 
Bestde the springs of dove, 
A maid whom very few do praise, 
And very few do love.”’ : 


The above quatrain appears in pencil in Reerbohm's autograph, on the drawing. 


31. BEERBOHM (Max). ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR DRAWING, SIGNED, of: “Study 
of a Hat.” Signed: “ Max. 1917.” With a decorative wash border. Matted 
in a narrow black frame and glazed. 


FINE AND UNUSUAL SPECIMEN. When Beerbohm’s pencil strolls into the realm 
of women’s hats, the results are usually most ludicrous as is evident in the above 
drawing. Topped upon the head of an English lass is a colorful creation, which would 

' be more harmonious were there less brilliant red and green in the ornamentation.

‘‘PHIZ’? AUTOGRAPH LETTER REFERRING TO DICKENS’ BOOKS 


69. BrowNE (HasLtot K.—‘‘Phiz”). Autograph Letter Signed,—"H. K. 
Browne.” 3pp. 8vo, Notting Hill, July 12th, [18]65. To Fredk. Cozens, 
Esqre. Letter mounted and inlaid. 


AN EXCEEDINGLY FINE AND IMPORTANT LETTER BY THE FAMOUS ILLUSTRATOR 
OF DICKENS’ WoRKS, REFERRING TO His ILLUSTRATIONS FOR “‘ NICHOLAS NICKLEBY”’ 
AND ‘‘ MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT.”’ It was through his work as an illustrator of Dickens 
that Browne won renown. A REMARKABLE LITERARY GEM. 

This very interesting letter reads,—‘‘ I have—as I ‘ propoged’ to myself—drawn out 
my drawings before the long days have made much progress with their draw-ins. Nicholas 
Nickleby and Martin Chuzzlewit are ready for you, whenever you like to give them house 
room, perhaps the sooner the better—as I suspect they will be taken better care of, in your 
keeping than in mine; with me, they will stand a chance of getting their noses rubbed off 
and dresses torn or dustied. 

““T have done my figures this early to suit my own convenience—you, of course, can 
draw yours (which are ever so much better than mine—I wish I could draw in that style!) 
whenever you feel thus artistically inclined.” 


FINE ORIGINAL DRAWING BY ‘‘PHIZ”’ 


70. BROWNE (HAaBLOT K.—‘‘ Phiz’’). ORIGINAL PENCIL DRAWING HEIGHTENED 
WITH WATERCOLOR, SIGNED, ‘‘Phiz, 1866.” Height, 514; length, 1234 
inches. Matted. 


A spirited drawing showing the English gentry promenading a cheval, some of the 
livelier ones galloping their horses, in disregard of the frightened pedestrians, one of 
whom is seen in the foreground, fleeing to safety. Her parasol is lying on the road 
and her scurrying canine pet is apparently forgotten. 


FINE ORIGINAL DRAWING BY ‘“PHIZ”’ 


71. BROWNE (HaBLot K.—‘‘Phiz’’). ORIGINAL PENCIL DRAWING HEIGHTENED 
WITH WATERCOLOR, SIGNED, ‘‘ Phiz, 1866." Height, 514; length, 1234 inches. 
Matted. 


A lively scene on a sunlit day on a favorite English drive. The cream of the equine 
species and their distinguished riders are enjoying the brisk morning air. Here and 
there are ladies and gentlemen enjoying a téte-a-téte on horseback. In the fore- 
ground are two young people on their respective ponies also holding a conversation. 
Two small pet dogs are entering into the spirit, for they, too, seem to be earnestly ex- 
changing salutations of the morn in their canine tongue. 


TWELVE BEAUTIFUL UNPUBLISHED DRAWINGS BY “PHIZ” 


72. BROWNE (HasLtot K.—‘‘Phiz’’). A SERIES OF ORIGINAL UNPUBLISHED 
DRAWINGS IN TINTS for William Wordsworth’s ‘“‘Hart-Leap Well.” Title 
and 12 beautifully executed pencil drawings, artistically tipped in and matted, 
each being hinged on linen. Explanation of Hart-Leap Well and original 
poem inlaid. Tipped in, is an A.L.S. by M. A. Browne. All bound into an 
oblong large folio volume (15 by 28 inches) of full green levant morocco, 
gilt, gilt lettering on obverse cover, gilt paneled back and inner gilt bor- 
ders, gilt edges, BY RIVIERE. 7 

A UNIQUE AND REMARKABLE SPORTING ITEM, displaying the genius of ‘‘ Phiz”’ at 
its very best. The drawings are full of spirit and faithfully depict the breathless inter- 


eo ie a participants in the hunt. Each drawing is beautifully and very carefully 
nished. 


It Is EXCEEDINGLY UNUSUAL THAT A WORK OF SUCH EXTREME IMPORTANCE 
SHOULD HAVE REMAINED UNPUBLISHED FOR SO MANY YEARS.

AUTOGRAPH LETTERS OF CHARLES THE FIRST AND HIS QUEEN 


112. CHARLES I, KING oF ENGLAND, AND HENRIETTA Mart, QUEEN OF CHARLES I. 
Autograph Letter Signed or Eacu: (1) King Charles I, one page 8vo, 
“Ruperry, 26 July 1645." To his Nephew Prince Ruppert; (2) Henrietta 
Marie R. 2pp. 4to, Paris 20 August 1650. To her cousin “ Monsieur le 
Marquis de Argill.”” Written in French. With wax seals. With 5 engraved 
portraits of King Charles, and a portrait of Queen Henrietta Maria. Each 
letter neatly tipped to sheet, and each portrait skilfully inlaid to size. 
Bound together in 4to volume, full maroon levant morocco, triple gilt fillet 
borders on sides, lettered on front cover. 

EXCEEDINGLY FINE LETTERS AND OF GREAT RARITY IN FULL AUTOGRAPH. 

The letter by King Charles I was written during the Civil War in England, while 
King Charles was in France, and reads in part,—‘‘ Nephew, this messenger coming out 
of France is in such haste to go to you that I shall only tell you that you will find I have 
been better than my word in my last letter, for yesterday I gave order for Tilliers and 
Pretties Regiments to march to you with all possible speed. . . . Iam Sending a new 
dispatch into Ireland wherein I not only seek to hasten the supplies in general, but like- 
wise in particular to encourage the Marquis of Ormonde himself to come over, because I 
believe without him our assistance from those parts will be very small. Yet I assure you 
he shall be subordinate to you. This is shortly to show you that on no occasion you are 
Yorgotiens:. 6 2” 

The letter by Queen Henrietta Maria, written in French, is accompanied by an 
English translation. It is written to the Marquis of Argyll, in regard to the removal of 
several servants of her son, King Charles II, and asks that one particular servant be 
restored. A translation of part of the letter reads,—‘‘ Having heard that there have 
been removed from my son, the King, some of his servants, amongst other one called 
Arden, I could not help bringing to your notice that he is a man who has always behaved 
with much affection and faithfulness towards his master, who is far removed from 
intrigue, who busies himself about nothing but serving his master, who has been con- 
sianily with him since his childhood, and who is well suited to be with young people, tia 

The portraits of King Charles I are engraved by Picart, Basan, Bernaudy, Bocquet 
and H. Robinson; that of Queen Henrietta Maria by H. T. Ryall.

THESE LETTERS, WRITTEN TO SYLVESTER BAXTER, AUTHOR AND JOURNALIST, 
ARE MosT INTERESTING, AND ARE IN REGARD TO CLEMENS’ Book ‘“‘A CONNECTICUT 
YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR’S Court.” In one letter, appropos of the downfall of the 
Brazilian monarchy, he shows his abhorrence of monarchies by writing “‘I believe I

[ No. 121. CLEMENS—Continued | 


should really see the end of what is surely the grotesquest of all the swindles ever invented 
by man—monarchy.”’ The following is a list of the letters, and extracts,— 

(1) Hartford, Nov. 14/89. 2pp. ‘‘I was Howells’ guest in Boston yesterday. . 
I set your name down for the book—you will receive it in about 30 days fromnow. . . . 
The book itself will issue . . . Dec. 12, but there will be no reviews of it in the month 
of December except yours and Howells. . Pak 

(2) Hartford, Nov. 20, 1889. 6pp. Most INTERESTING, pertaining to the fall of the 
empire of Brazil, in which Clemens expresses his detestation of monarchies. Reads in 
part,—* Another throne has gone down & I swim in oceans of satisfaction. I wish I 
might live fifty years longer, I believe I should see the thrones of Europe selling at auction 
for oldiron. . . . It is enough to make a graven image laugh to see apparently rational 
people, away down here in this wholesome & merciless slaughter-day for shams, still 
mouthing empty reverence for those moss-backed frauds -& scoundrelisms, hereditary 
kingship & so-called ‘ Nobility.’ It is enough to make the monarchs & nobles themselves 
laugh—& in private they do; there can be no question about that. . . . You already 
have the advance sheets of my forthcoming book in your hands. If you will turn to about 
the five hundredth page, you will find a state paper of my Connecticut Yankee in which he 
announces the dissolution of King Arthur’s monarchy & proclaims the English Repub- 
lic. Compare it with the state paper which announces the downfall of the Brazilian mon- 
archy & proclaims the Republic of the United States of Brazil & stand by to defend the 
Yankee from plagiarism. There is really a resemblance of tdeas, nothing more. The 


Yankee’s proclamation was already in print a week ago. . . . Come, protect the Yank 
from that cheapest & easiest of all charges—plagiarism. . . .” 
(3) Hartford, Nov. 22, 1889. One page. “. . . Ihave asked Howells to write & tell 


you, if he has no objections to your notice coming out before his. If he hasn't any—let Fly! 
Please don’t let on that there are any slurs at the Church or Protection in the book. . etn. 


(4) Hartford, Nov. 26, 1889. One page. ‘‘ Pictures—a good idea. . . . If it will 
save you any trouble, I think we can send you cuts of such pictures as you would like to 
use. . x 


(5) Hartford, Sunday. ‘‘Jt is a pity to have to relinquish my scheme, but it would 
imperil my English & Canadian copyrights—& our copyright relations are much more 
Strained now than they have ever been. . . . Please withhold your article until December 
12th. . . . Heretofore it has been my policy to publish my books secretly, but this time 
I grow daily more inclined to turn the book loose & let it take all the chances. . . .”’ 

(6) Hartford, Dec. 3, 1889. ‘‘No, I am under too heavy a weight of burdens, & must 
not contemplate another, large or small, near or remote, for a long tume yet. I mean to 
hold still a good many months, Yet, & let my tank fill up, before I do any more writing. 
But I vasily want to know Bellamy & you must bring him down, one of these Satur- 
days. . . .’’ He also mentions a play written by his eldest daughter. 

(7) Hartford, Dec. 19, 1889. Extends his thanks to Baxter for his write-up on the 
“Connecticut Yankee.’’ Reads in part,—‘‘It was an admirable notice, & I cannot 
thank you enough. And I am so glad you said the appreciative word for Beard’s excellent 

Slaves ek . 
; (8) New York, Oct. 26 [1900]. “‘It was a great pleasure to me to renew the other days 
with you & there was a pathetic pleasure in seeing Hartford & the house again; but I 
realized that if we ever enter the house again to live, our hearts will break. . i

COBDEN-SANDERSON’S Copy, AND BOUND BY HIM. With his Autograph Signature 
and date, in ink, on half-title: ‘‘T. J. Sanderson, 28 October 1876;’’ and his ‘‘Ex- 
eee pasted on the inside of front cover; also with the Charles Dexter Allen book- 
plate. 

This volume was probably used by Cobden-Sanderson at school and is of great 
interest, not only in that it is his copy, with a very early autograph signature, but 
that it is also a very early specimen of his binding, and although absolutely plain 
except for the lettering on back, sets forth his style. It shows that Cobden-Sanderson, 
although forced to do elaborate work on books, for a livelihood, himself preferred 
Jansen style.

189. DICKENS (CHARLES). American Notes for General Circulation. 2 vols. I2mo, 
original cloth, uncut. London, 1842 


EARLIEST ISSUE OF THE First EDITION. Eckels corrects a misconception of cata- 
loguers regarding this work: ‘‘ Not one of Dickens’ works was the subject of so much 
adverse criticism as the book he wrote after his first return from a visit in America in 
1842. He wrote a chapter which he intended for the introduction to the book, which 
may have softened the American attitude, had it been printed. But a week before the 
‘Notes’ appeared it was decided to eliminate it. That is why all first issues carry a 
test which is infallible. In Vol. I the first pagination is page XVI, that being the 
last page of the ‘Contents, to Volume I.’ Foster in the ‘Life’ printed the canceled 
chapter in full under the heading ‘Introductory and necessary to be Read.’ Before 
the suppression was agreed upon the sheets were partly printed and the pagination 
was not altered. Later and before the first edition was exhausted, the revised pagina- 
tion was made. Many recent auction catalogues fall into the curious error in descrip- 
tion by stating that the chapter in question had been transferred to the second 
volume... .”’

DICKENS (CHARLES). A. L. S. 4pp. 12mo. ‘‘ Tavistock House, Tavistock Souare, 
London, W. C. Monday Thirty-first May 1858.’ A VERY IMPORTANT LETTER, DE- 
VOTED ENTIRELY TO HIS SEPARATION FROM HIs WIFE, AND HOW THE CHILDREN WILL 
BE CARED FoR. Reads in part,—‘‘I have heard such thronging multitudes of wonderful 
and inexplicable lies about myself during the last week, that tt almost bewilders me to find 
you in possession of the truth. . . . Our separation ts a natural end of a course of 
years. . . . But it would be a poor example to be driven mad myself, or to drive Mrs. 
Dickens mad; and one or both of the two resulis must have happened, tf we had gone on 
living together. There is no anger or ill-will between us. I believe not the slightest. Our 
elder children are at least as sensible that the thing must be as we are. . . . I do not 
doubt that we shall all be much the better for it. I only want to impress upon you that it is 
calmly and moderately done; that whatever doubt or passion there has ever been on either 
side, has already died out; that I am sure we only want to forgive and forget, and live at 
peace; but it was an unhappy day for both, when two such strongly contrasted people 
came together, but we Wake accept all that, and do not blame the day, and only seek to 
make the best of tt. : 

DICKENS (CHARLES). AS 4pp. 12mo. ‘'r Devonshire Terrace, Sunday Thirty 
First January 1841.’ Written in a small eas hand. This is, apparently, the first

your handwriting. The character is so unaltered, that I find it difficult to believe you ‘ pur- 
blind,’ and I feel sure you are a great deal better. I hope I have done my part to make the 
rising generation more childish, in rendering them a little more imaginative, a little more 
gentle, and a litile less concetted and hard, than they would have been without me. I desire 
to do nothing better.

other finely painted initial letters in gold and colors with floral scroll borders 
in the volume; capitals, paragraph marks and initial strokes throughout alter- 
nately in red and blue, numerous rubrications by hand in red in addition to 
those printed. Thick large folio, full blue morocco, gilt line borders, MANY

HAIN, No. *7883. A SUPERB COPY OF THE “ EDITIO PRINCEPS,’’ OF WHICH ONLY 
SEVEN COPIES ARE KNOWN, most of these being in the great public libraries. This 
is probably the First BOOK PRINTED AT STRASBOURG WITH A DATE as the Clement V 
‘“‘Constitutiones’’ printed by Eggestein is dated November 21st 1471, the present 
volume bearing merely the year date and probably issued prior to the ‘‘Con- 
stitutiones.”’ mh 

THE VOLUME Is IN MAGNIFICENT STATE OF PRESERVATION, PRACTICALLY UNCUT, 
AND Is THEREFORE EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE, MEASURING 187% BY 1338 INCHES (480 
by 340 mm. British Museum copy measures only 477 by 330 mm.) THis Copy ALso 
CONTAINS THE ORIGINAL BLANK LEAF AT END which is lacking in the British Mu- 
seum copy. The first and last leaves are slightly time-stained and there are a few 
small worm-holes through the last pages, but aside from this the entire volume is ex- 
ceptionally fresh and free from blemish. 

A vellum fly-leaf inserted at the beginning of volume contains a contemporary 
manuscript diagram and signature of ‘‘ Johannes Vogt’’ in lower corner. 

This volume is from the LIBRARY OF WILLIBALD PIRCKHEIMER of Nurenberg (1470- 
1536; Councillor of Emperor Charles V, friend of Erasmus and Diirer, to whom 
many of Diirer’s letters from Venice were written), and CoNTAINS His FAMousS 
BOOKPLATE WHICH WAS EXECUTED BY DURER BEFORE 1503. This plate is considered 
one of the most interesting of all German bookplates, designed and cut on wood by 
Albrecht Diirer, the greatest of all exlibris designers. The plate is in the second state 
with the inscription in Hebrew, Greek and Latin in the upper section. In removing 
the plate from the original binding it has been slightly mutilated, but is in very good 
state of preservation for a plate of its age and of such large dimensions. 

It is probable that the volume itself was originally illuminated for a member of the 
Pirckheimer family as the ecclesiastic arms painted on the first page are the same as 
those of Willibald Pirckheimer appearing on the bookplate. From thence it probably 
passed with the other Pirckheimer books and manuscripts into the possession of 
THOMAS HOWARD, EARL OF ARUNDEL, and must have reposed for some time at 
ARUNDEL HOUSE as it was amongst the volumes presented by HENRY Howarp, 
DUKE oF NoRFOLK, to the ROYAL SOCIETY in 1666. The Royal Society stencil stamp, 
“Soc. Reg. Lond. ex dono Henri. Howard, Norfolciensis,’’ appears on the margin of 
the second leaf, and the Society’s ‘‘So_p”’ stamp is on final leaf. It also contains the 
bookplate of the LAKELANDS LIBRARY. A 

A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF EARLY PRINTING AND WITH A PROVENANCE OF THE 
GREATEST INTEREST AND IMPORTANCE.

This work was written in Latin about the middle of the XIVth Century by Bar- 
tholomew, an English Minorite or Franciscan, of the family of the Earls of Suffolk. 
The English version was made by John Trevisa, vicar of Berkeley in Gloucestershire, 
at the request of his patron, Thomas Berkeley, in the year 1398. The present is the 
first English edition PRINTED BY WYNKYN DE WorDE and the first book printed on 
paper made in England. 

In Dibdin’s ‘‘ Typographical Antiquities,’’ Vol. 2, there are 12 pages devoted to 
this work (pp. 310-321), in which he states that it is of ‘‘extraordinary typographical 
beauty and rarity . . . perhaps the most magnificent publication ever issued from 
de Worde’s press; and its rarity, in a perfect state, is extreme.’ See also ‘‘ Bibliotheca 
Spenceriana,’’ Vol. 4, pp. 411-413.

label of the former, and heraldic bookplate of the latter.

known after 1486, but it is probable that Richard Pynson, who was his successor, 
went to England soon after that date. Pynson had studied at the University of 
Paris, and had learned to print at Rouen with Guillaume Le Talleur. Pynson did not 
succeed to any of his predecessor’s type, and when he first went to England he may

First Session, Tuesday Evening, February 24th 


[ No. 226. EarLy PRiIntING—Continued | 


have commissioned his old master to print two law-books for him, Statham’s 
“‘Abridgement”’ and Littleton’s ‘‘ Tenores novelli.’”” THE TExT oF THESE Two Books 
Is PRINTED IN A CURIOUSLY SMALL AND CONTRACTED TYPE, USED NOWHERE ELSE, 
AND APPARENTLY CUT SPECIALLY FOR THE PRINTING OF THESE Two Books. WHAT 
PART PYNSON HAD IN THE PRINTING OF THE Books IT IS DIFFICULT TO DECIDE. 
THE TABLE Is SIGNED ‘‘ PER ME RICHARD PYNSON.’’ BUT THE LAST LEAF BEARS 
THE CYPHER OF LE TALLEUR AS PRINTER. If Pynson had subsidized the press and 
paid for the type we should expect to find it in his possession in England later. Very 
probably they printed the volume together at Rouen in order that Pynson might 
begin business with it in England. 

THIS VOLUME IS VERY RARE, ESPECIALLY WHEN, LIKE THE PRESENT Copy, IT 
CONTAINS THE Two PRELIMINARY LEAVES OF TABLES. THE Two LEAVES ARE 
PRINTED AS A SEPARATE PRELIMINARY QUIRE, AND BEING ON THICKER PAPER, IT 
WOULD APPEAR THAT THEY WERE PRINTED LATER THAN THE BOOK, AND INSERTED 
ONLY IN SOME CoPIEs. Copies in early bindings, with no appearance of mutilation, 
are often without them. 

The present copy is remarkable also, as containing SEVENTEEN BLANK LEAVES 
distributed throughout the volume in nearly every signature from b to x, a condition 
apparently unnoticed in previously described copies, thus forming what may pos- 
sibly be A UNIQUE Copy. 

IN SUPERB CONDITION AND WITH EXCEPTIONALLY WIDE MARGINS, LEAVES 
are evi 1254 BY 854 INCHES. With several contemporary manuscript notes or 
additions. 

The binding is a VERY FINE SPECIMEN OF EARLY OXFORD WORKMANSHIP, at least 
one of the stamps being reproduced in Gibson's ‘‘ Early Oxford Bindings”’ (No. 74). 

This work is of supreme importance to those interested in the infancy of English 
printing. Gordon Duff (No. 374) lists 14 copies, only 3 of which aside from the Pier- 
pont Morgan copy are listed as in private hands. The Bodleian Library possesses 
only an imperfect copy. 

This collection of the Statues of England is so rare as to have escaped the researches 
of Ames, Herbert, and Dibdin. It is printed in Secretary type, and is the only exam- 
ple of this type used in England. Pynson, who was the assistant of Caxton and the 
fellow-worker of Wynkyn de Worde, was the first to introduce into England the type 
known as Secretary-Gothic, an imitation of the cursive Gothic hand, which had been 
invented in France and become fashionable with some of the early French printers. 

From the Bridgewater Library with large bookplate, and the Herschel V. Jones 
collection with bookplate.

following statement regarding this version of Salaman: ‘I took it in hand, boiled it 
down to three-fourths of what it originally was, and (as you see) clapt it on the back 
of Omar, where I still believed it would hang somewhat of a dead weight; but that 
was Quaritch’s lookout, not mine. I have never heard any notice taken of it, but 
just now from you; and I believe that, say what you would, people would rather have 
the old Sinner alone.”’

First EDITION. SCARCE. WILLIAM WINTER’S Copy, WITH His AUTOGRAPH 
SIGNATURE ON TITLE-PAGE. 

Inserted is a remarkable 3-p. A. L. S. of the Author, to William Winter, reading, 
in part: ‘‘ Like many better men, I have essayed to write plays. I am, I frankly confess, 
ignorant as to technique, and probably in many of the other qualities that go to make a 
successful playwright. The suspicion of this makes me wish to obtain such skilled criti- 
cism of my attempts, as shall show me the defects and short-comings of my work. In hopes 
that it might be possible to get such criticism and suggestion from you, I venture to ask if 
you would be willing to let me read you a play or two of my writing? I feel most diffident, 
in making this request, and am doubtful as to what honorarium to offer for a service which 
I realize 1s out of your true line of work. But if you are disposed to grant this favor, and 
the enclosed check is sufficient to make tt worth your while to spare me a little of your time 
and brain, I leave the quantity entirely to you, only dete: for frankness in what 
you give, be it ever so harsh and disappointing.”

The series of ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR DRAWINGS by I. R. Cruikshank are very 
finely executed, and depict Naval and Military occurrences and scenes in the French 
Revolution. It is very seldom that a single item is extra-illustrated with so large a 
series of spirited Cruikshank drawings, and especially of such brilliant coloring. One 
drawing of AMERICAN INTEREST is ‘‘ The Attack on the City of Washington.’’ Most 
of the drawings are of duodecimo size, a great number are signed by the artist, and in 
most cases Cruikshank has written the title of the drawing, in ink, in the lower mar- 
gin. Each drawing is mounted on a sheet of uniform size. 

Among some of the drawings by Cruikshank may be mentioned the following,— 
Antelope Packet engaging a French West Indiaman, 1793; Burning the French Fleet 
at Toulon; Nelson Boarding the San Josef; Execution of Parker the Mutineer; Battle 
of the Nile; Napoleon Watching the Burning of Moscow; The Body of Tippo Sahib 
Discovered; Battle of Copenhagen; Death of Abercrombie (an exquisite drawing) ; 
Boulogne; Battle of Trafalgar; Taking the Cape of Good Hope; Storming Fort El 
Muros; Wellington Entering Madrid; Buonaparte’s Flight from Russia; Storming of 
Ciudad Rodrigo; The Battle of Vittoria; Flight of the King of Spain from Vittoria;

cation; Battle of Toulouse; Meeting of the Emperor Alexander and the Duke of 
Wellington; Duke of Wellington Receiving the Thanks of the House of Lords; Duke 
of Wellington received by Louis the XVIII after the Battle of Waterloo; and others 
of great interest. 

The engraved portraits which are inserted, all of which are COLORED BY HAND, are 
by the foremost engravers, and comprise portraits of Rulers, Statesmen, Naval and 
Military Officers of high rank.

the Nautical,”’ and other situations equally amusing. 

The portraits of both Robert Cruikshank and his friend Pierce Egan are distinctly

VERY FINE ITEM. IN Goop STATE OF PRESERVATION. SUCH LENGTHY AUTOGRAPH 
LETTERS BY A KING OF THE 16TH CENTURY ARE MostT UNUSUAL AND RARE. 

This letter, couched i in endearing expressions, was evidently a love-letter to one of 
his mistresses, ‘‘ Alise,’’ this name being written on the back of the letter. The court 
of Henry III was disgraced by favoritism, intrigues, bigotry, and licentiousness; and 
the king’s personal character was not such as to command respect. In this love- 
letter, the king comments on the base ingratitude of the world, and expresses his 
gratitude to his fair lady for the consolation she has given his poor afflicted and 
desolate soul, his love for her, his longing for her kindness and consideration, his 
desire to serve her and obey her wishes at all times, etc. At the close of his letter, he 
mentions Charles de Guise, the Cardinal de Lorraine,—‘‘ My lord, the Cardinal of 
Lorraine is very ill." The latter died in 1574.

appear to be of a later date than that. One leaf between those numbered 94 and 95 
has been cut away for the miniature it contained. ;

Indians while at the height of their power. In 1816 he was appointed superintendent 
of the United States trade with the Indian tribes. In 1824, the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs having been organized in connection with the War Department, he was

FINELY COLORED. With Descriptive Letterpress. Atlas folio, half morocco,

FINE Copy. These beautiful scenes in Indian life are probably the most truthful 
ever presented to the public. Their great size (24 by 20 inches) allows the figures to be 
distinct and life-like; and no one was ever better fitted by experience and facility of 
power to secure upon the canvas all that would interest us in aboriginal life, these 


prints will remain probably as long as their fabric lasts, the best delineations of its 
scenes.

THE RARE FIRST EDITION—IN THE ORIGINAL BINDING 


404. Lamp (CHARLES). Tales from Shakespeare. Designed for the use of Young 
Persons. Embellished with copperplates, engraved by WILLIAM BLAKE. 
2 vols. 12mo, ORIGINAL CALF, slightly worn. Enclosed in half brown 
morocco double slip-case, elaborately gilt tooled backs, with protecting. 

cloth covers for each volume 
London: Printed for Thomas Hodgkins, 1807 


First EDITION. EXTREMELY RARE IN THE ORIGINAL BINDING. 

The plates were designed by Mulready, and engraved by William Blake. They did 
not meet with Lamb's approbation. He characterized one as ‘‘damn’d beastly vul- 
garity,”’ and that the incidents depicted by some of the others were not mentioned in 
the text. Mrs. Godwin, whom he called the ‘‘ bad baby,’’ he blames as responsible for 
the selection of the titles to the plates. 

Charles Lamb, in writing to Manning, May 10, 1806, throws additional light on 
the composition of this now famous book. ‘‘She (Mary) is doing for Godwin’s book- 
seller twenty of Shakespeare’s plays, to be made into children’s tales. Six are already 
done by her, to wit, ‘The Tempest,’ ‘Winter’s Tale,’ ‘Midsummer Night,’ “Much 
Ado,’ ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona,’ ‘Cymbeline,’ and ‘The Merchant of Venice’ is in 
forwardness. I have done ‘Othello’ and ‘Macbeth,’ and mean to do all the tragedies. 
I think it will be popular among the little people, besides money. It’s to bring in 
sixty guineas. Mary has done them capitally, I think you’d think.”

mart. The proprietor is paralyzed with terror and stands stupidly gazing at the

the rest of his body in size.

409. LEECH (JOHN). ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR DRAWING SIGNED of: ‘The Well.”’ 
Signed,—" J. Leech.”’ Height, 634; width, 434 inches. Matted in a dull 
gilt frame and glazed. An artistic wash border, on mat, surrounds drawing. 


ONE OF THE FINEST LEECH WATERCOLOR DRAWINGS. A pretty maiden has come 
to draw water from a wayside well. She sings as she turns the great iron handle until 
the bucket appears in view. Fancy her dismay upon seeing in the bucket, instead 
of the clear sparkling water, a man’s head, his red nose protruding over the rim! 

Leech depicts the horrified astonishment on her face with faithful accuracy, 
leaving many conjectures as to the outcome of her amazing discovery. A friar is 
seen slowly retreating to a cathedral in the background. 


410. LEEcH (JOHN). ORIGINAL PENCIL DRAwING. Height, 7; length, 10 inches. 
Accompanied by reproduction. Both matted in a black and gilt frame and 
glazed 


Goop EXAMPLE OF LEECH. The drawing represents a lady caressing a horse. A 
mounted horseman is near. The drawing is titled in Leech’s autograph as follows,— 
“‘ Doosed Aggravating for Young Cornet Flinders, You Know.’’ Then beneath, also in 
the artist’s autograph,—"' Fair Questioner (coaxingly to favourite hack). ‘It was a Nice 
"tttle soft nose, it was—and it had very nice eyes, it had—and it was very handsome, it 
was—and it was a nice 'itile sing altogether!’”’ 


411. LEECH (JOHN). ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR DrRawinaG of: ‘The Good Little 
Boy.” Signed,—‘John Leech.” Height, 814; length, 1014 inches. In a 
gilt mat, and gilt frame, glazed. 


This drawing appeared in ‘‘Punch,’”’ Vol. 19, 1850. The watercolor is larger than 
the woodcut and the flying gulls in background do not appear in the published 
illustration. 

Across the bottom of drawing the following words appear,—‘‘ Master Jackey won't 
be afraid of salt-water, will he! He'll come to his Martha and bathe like a man.” This 
fine delineation represents a bathing-house brought right into the sea. A woman of 
rotund proportions, full clad, is disporting in Neptune’s domain. Just at the door of 
the bath house, is an ill-tempered child, remonstrating with all the vigor of his young 
body against joining his nurse in the water.

ject was engraved in mezzotint by William Ward and was published on March 1, 
1797. 
AN EXCEEDINGLY FINE EXAMPLE FROM MORLAND’S BRUSH, SIGNED AND DATED. 
Depicts a room, with table in center; huntsman seated at table, which is before the 
open fire-place, powder-horn slung across his chest, his dogs near him; a mail-coach 
driver has entered the room, whip in his right hand, and in his left hand he holds up, 
to the view of the seated hunter, a good-sized hare; a barmaid is seen entering the 
room with a pitcher of ale; near the fireplace a cottager is seated, with his small 
daughter standing between his legs, looking up at her father and pointing to the 
dogs; rays of sunlight penetrate through the square windows and illuminate the 
room; directly behind the stage-coach driver is a stool, along the edge of the seat of 
which Morland has placed his name and the year, ‘‘G. Morland, 1787."

there is a photo of myself to be found in New York: I never had but one taken, and I have 
been laboring hard to suppress that one. . . . I have tried hard to keep photos and all 
personal matters out of print in order to secure some of the distinction there is (in these 
days) in not having one’s picture in the papers. . . . I would be glad to grant your 
request if I could, but I am happy to say (in accordance with my views as stated) that I 

don’t believe a picture of me could be had from any source.”’

ORIGINAL EDITION OF THIS JUSTLY RENOWNED BOOK ON THE BRITISH BIRDS. 
MAGNIFICENT Copy, BoTH As TO BINDING AND INTERIOR CONDITION, The brilliance 
of the plumage of the birds, and the graceful attitudes the birds habitually assume, 
all contribute to this effect in nature, and Mr. Gould has reproduced the effect so 
accurately that Nature is represented as truly as the art of man has ever succeeded 
in picturing it. 

“The care bestowed on the plates of this work was remarkable, the aim of the 
author being to produce a picture of the birds as they appeared in their natural 
haunts, and especial pains were bestowed on the young, particularly those of the 
wading birds and natores. Most of the drawings were developed and placed on stone 
by Mr. W. Hart, who also executed all the plates of the later works.’”’—WN, ature, 1881.

cruelty of the king, and of the murder of her husband opposite the Church of Saint 
Sulpice. The poor prisoner has languished within the confines of the Bastille for 14

Tuts REMARKABLE SERIES COMPRISES FIFTEEN LETTERS SIGNED BY CLEMENT 
VIII as Popr. Each one is signed by the Pope,—‘‘ Clements papa VIII.’ This highly 
important correspondence is of historic interest as it relates mainly to important 
ecclesiastical matters. It was Pope Clement VIII who absolved King Henry IV of 
France in 1595. He ordered a revised edition (known as “the Clementine’’) of the 
“Vulgate” in 1592. , 

[See Reproduction] 


516. Pope GREGORY XIII (1572-1585). A highly important series of seven ORIGINAL

pages, are signed as Pope “Bp. U.”’ (Ugo Buoncompagni). The seven letters 
are neatly hinged to sheets of uniform size and handsomely bound in full 
crimson levant morocco, gilt lettered and tooled on back and side. 

Gregory XIII was one of the greatest of the Popes. He is noted for having re- 
formed the calender, which is named for him the ‘‘Gregorian calender,” and the 
system now in use. His AUTOGRAPH IS EXTREMELY RarE and it is seldom that even 


a single letter or document bearing his signature is offered for sale. A collection of 
his autographs such as that now offered is a rare occurrence indeed. 


517. Pope Grecory XIV (1590-1591).. Original Autograph Draft of a Letter; 
Four Letters written by the Secretary of Cardinal Sfondrata, later Pope 
Gregory XIV. In all 8pp. folio, 1575-1583. Together, 5 letters.

Francis Xavier Castiglioni (Pius VIII) pursued his ecclesiastical career without 
much brilliance until 1800, when he became Bishop of Montalto. Pius VII, who had 
predicted that Castiglioni would become Pope, created him Cardinal and Bishop of 
Cesena in 1816, transferring him in 1821 to Frascati and giving him important 
charges. After Leo XII's death Castiglioni was chosen to succeed him and chose the 
title of Pius VIII. 

The collection comprises,— 

(1) LETTER, with AUTOGRAPH SUPERSCRIPTION SIGNED as Bishop of Montalto, 1815. 

(2) TWENTY-ONE (21) AUTOGRAPH LETTERS BY Prius VIII, twenty (20) of which 
are SIGNED. 

These were written by Pius VIII when he was Cardinal Castiglioni and Bishop of 
Cesena, and are, therefore, signed as such. There are 34 quarto pages entirely i in his 
autograph. 

(3) Four LETTERS, each with AUTOGRAPH SUPERSCRIPTIONS IN THE AUTOGRAPH 
OF THE POPE, SIGNED AS CARDINAL. One letter, however, is signed as Cardinal 
Castiglioni and Bishop of Frascati. 

(4) AUTOGRAPH LETTER written by Antonio Lenzi to Pius VIII in 1830, with two 
aie a the Pope’s autograph at the top of the letter. Pius VIII died this same year 

1830 
(5) A MANUSCRIPT written by the Cardinal’s (Pius VIII) Secretary. 7pp. folio.

single gilt fillet border on sides enclosing a richly gilt line and dot panel, 
interrupted at corners and sides with green levant inlays, richly gilt paneled 
back enclosing similar design with inlays, inner gilt levant borders, gilt 
edges, BY RIVIERE. | 


A REMARKABLE AND MosT DESIRABLE COLLECTION OF WATERCOLOR DRAWINGS 
BY THIS EMINENT ENGLISH CARICATURIST. The descriptions follow in detail:— 

(1) This drawing depicts a character of the lower orders of London. He is drinking 
soup, not in the established way, but by holding the plate to his lips. This plate being 
rather large of size, the contents are running over and falling on to his sleeve. A 
large dog is holding on to him, catching whatever soup is being spilt. 

(2) A head portrait of a young man; 

(3) A bust portrait of an elderly man; 

(4) A fine watercolor depicting an elderly man and a young lad surveying a portrait 
on cloth, held up for their inspection by a vendor; 

(s) This is a picture of a portly cook, being dragged along unwillingly to the 
pone of Hades, by death who is carrying a sharply pointed stick upon which is a 

owl; 

(6) This interesting drawing has the following autograph inscription on it: “A 
Negro girl plaiting another’s wool.’’ This humorous title is quite explanatory of the 
picture; ; 

(7) A design for a mural, comprising horses heads, a loving cup, and various 
sporting articles at the bottom; : ne 

(8) This plate is titled: ‘Hunting Breakfast. Symptoms of Drowsiness.” This is 
also in the artist’s autograph. The drawing depicts several sportsmen at breakfast; 

(9) A young girl holding a sprinkling can, about to sprinkle some plants which are 
in pots. Two small dogs accompany her; 

(10) This picture shows the grim form of death embracing a young woman. The 
manner in which Rowlandson depicted the terror on the woman's face is indeed 
noteworthy.

TWELVE FINE ORIGINAL WATERCOLORS—SPLENDID EXAMPLES 


547. ROwLANDSON (THOMAS). A REMARKABLE COLLECTION OF TWELVE ORIGINAL 
WATERCOLOR DRAWINGS ALL SIGNED, ‘T. Rowlandson.” .The drawings 
are delicately colored, inlaid in a very heavy mat, each with a wash border 
around the drawing; hand-lettered title-page in red and black. Bound into 
an oblong imperial 8vo volume, full fawn crushed levant morocco, double 
gilt fillet borders on sides enclosing panel of a line design, with very richly 
gilt corners, the lines broken up by fusil shaped inlays of red and green 
levant, richly gilt paneled back, with inlays, inner gilt levant borders, gilt, 
gilt edges, BY RIVIERE. 


THIS FINE AND DESIRABLE COLLECTION OF WATERCOLORS IS DESCRIBED BELOW 
IN FuLL DETAIL. 

(1) In the foreground is a man with a long pitchfork going after another who is 
rapidly scaling a gate. In his attempt to escape the unwelcome prongs, his blunder- 
buss which he carries on his shoulder, accidentally goes off, causing him to lose his 
balance. Another figure of a man is in the background waving frantically. Two 
ee dogs are making a hasty retreat and a cock is crowing to add tone to the 

ustle; 

(2) This picture is titled in the artist’s autograph: ‘‘ How to Stop a Horse at pleas- 
ure.’ A horse is seen rushing madly into the stable with his rider on his back. An 
old fashioned country pump is seen to the left. Frightened fowl are flying this way 
and that. A farmer in his amazement has dropped his pitchfork and is calling to the 
helpless equestrian to be careful; 

(3) This drawing is illustrative of a gentleman seated on a bench conversing with 
another, who is standing. The latter has a most curiously shaped face. Both are 
gesticulating with their hands; 

(4) This is perhaps a scene in the 16th century. A king is seated at a repast, holding 
a great goblet of wine. At his right isan Archbishop and a bishop, behind whom are 
two attendants holding their croziers. Opposite the king is the court jester. Seated 
to the left of the king at the table is a monk holding a plate with but a single fish 
upon it, apparently intended to be passed. The bishops are looking at the poor monk 
with surprise and astonishment written on their faces, as though the monk had 
committed a great breach of etiquette. The attendants are vainly striving to conceal 
their laughter; 

(5) Titled in the artist’s autograph: “‘ The Great East Indiaman on Fire in the Bay 
of Biscay.’’ The boat is in flames and sinking beneath the turbulent waves. Evi- 
dently an explosion has taken place, for the people are blown in all directions. The 
sea in the foreground is full of these unfortunates; 

(6) Three lads are undressing ready to jump into the cool refreshing waters of a 
lake. Two old women are walking down the path, arm in arm. They are undoubt- 
edly dreadfully shocked to come across these carefree lads, preparing for a swim; 

(7) This depicts a free-for-all fight, involving seven participants, some with 
weapons; 

(8) Two officers on horseback charging into a crowd of citizens who are running 
madly away from the brandishing swords of the military men; 

(9) This depicts a lady fleeing from a pursuing dog. She is upsetting everything in 
her path in an effort to escape the maddened animal. Her husband, confined to his 
chair with the gout, is unable to come to her assistance; 

(10) Titled in the author’s autograph: “‘ Bandy Leg Walk.” Depicts different types 
of people on a promenade. Some fat, some lean, some elegant, some otherwise; 

(11) A carriage containing a lady and gentleman is leisurely rolling along. Tied 
behind is a goose in a cage. A gentleman on horseback, coming from the opposite di- 
rection, is galloping past, while a dog is plucking the feathers of the poor frightened 
goose. 

(12) Depicted in Rowlandson’s characteristic style is a dog lying on the ground, 
breathing his last. Around him, in a semicircle, are his master and mistresses, gazing 
itis ect! at their dear departing friend, hoping his spirit will ascend to the canine 

eaven.

A SPLENDID COLLECTION OF RUSKIN COMMUNICATIONS TO HENRY RITCHIE. 
The following briefly summarizes this valuable assemblage of letters by this great 
art critic and writer. 

May 22, 1871. On business matters; 

June 9, 1871. On private affairs; 

Jan. 7, 1872. Personal letter; 

May 19, 1873. On further personal matters; 

June 8, 1873. A REMARKABLE LETTER, reading in part: “. . . I am greatly 
pleased by the bit about myself when I was young. The utter loneliness of my life now 
makes me look back to those days as belonging to another world altogether. . . . Now 
may I ask a few questions more? Chiefly this. Believing as you do that the Kingdom of 
God is soon to come, could you consider it your duty to act in all respects as if you knew 
nothing about its causes. Or if not, what difference does it make in your action. For 
instance, suppose that there be fear of civil war in England. Would you let it come without 
making effort to stop it, or would you take measures as if you thought this world was still 
to go on, to prevent it? . . ."’ The letter continues in this vein; 

May 28 [1874]. Important letter; 

August 28, 1875. In which he speaks of religious people as a body as being almost 
entirely destitute of sympathy, however well-meaning; 

No date. Personal letter.

WITH TWO IMPORTANT LETTERS BY SCOTT, RELATING TO 
THE WORK 


561. Scott (Str WALTER). Peveril of the Peak. 4 vols. 12mo, half morocco. 
Edinburgh, 1822 


First EDITION. Inserted are Two IMPpoRTANT AUTOGRAPH LETTERS, SIGNED, of 
the Author to James Ballantyne, Sir Walter Scott’s printer, and to R. Cadell, the 
Author’s publisher. 

The letter to Ballantyne is dated Nov. 1, 1828, and refers to his “‘Peveril.’’ Sir 
Walter states, 

“I send you a lot of copy with the proof this day received . . . I do not understand if 
you reckon on the proceeds of PEVERIL as part of the month’s fund—it (PEVERIL) will 
certainly be out. Nor do I know if you compute your own but I conclude VOGGO a caly 2 
I have £2,500 to pay this season last instalment (for the Abbotsford Estate) of Land. 
For this I have £1,500 provided but I shall want a bill of yours for £500 & of Constable 
for the like sum at 3 and 4 months which I can easily make circulable, I cannot make 
you understand my tale of the dark ages. But I shall want very much Duclos’s Life of 
Louis XI and the account of the private life of the French by somebody whose name I 
have forgot.”’ [Etc.] 

The second letter, to Cadell, is as follows: “I send you Peveril puffed up to the 
proper size, I hope, or very near it. It will be necessary that, when the press goes on it, 
tt shall continue without stopping or confusing it with other things, that we be assured 
against repetitions which such a mass of notes written at different times are extremely 
likely to occur unless the whole are reviewed in a connected form.”

Folio, new half russia. Edinburgh, 1711 
Copies WiTH BoTH PorRTRAITS ARE VERY RARE. THE LARGE PoRTRAIT IS 
a ESPECIALLY BRILLIANT. 
EDMOND MALONE’S ANNOTATED Copy. On the fly-leaf he has written a long note 
which is signed and dated June 4th 1785. It should be observed that Malone, in his 
F annotation at page 226, gives the date of Dr'ummond’s ‘‘ Note” as between 1624 and 
1625 whereas Masson ascribed it as between 1614 and 1616. | 

“The Authors I have seen on the Subject of Love, are the Earl of Surrey, Sir 
Thomas Wyat (whom, because of their Antiquity, I will not match with our better 
Times) Sidney, Daniel, Drayton, and Spenser. . . . The last we have are Sir 
William Alexander and SHAKESPEARE, who have lately published their Works.”"— 
Works, 1711, page 226. 

This note of Drummond’s must belong to the period of 1614-1616, for Alexander 
was not knighted till 1614, and Shakespeare, who died in 1616, is here spoken of asa 
if living Author. The word “‘lately’’ induces us to give the earliest date possible to the 
ef note. See “Drummond of Hawthornden; the Story of his Life and Writings,’’ by 


o? 


David Masson, 1783, page 81, note—‘‘ Shakespeare’s Centurie of Prayse.’’ His cen- 


it sure of the English Poets was this: , 

“That Shakspeer wanted arte . . . Sheakspear, ina play, brought in a number 
of men saying they had suffered ship-wrack in Bohemia wher y' is no sea neer by some 
100 miles.’-—Notes by William Drummond of Conversations with Ben Jonson, at

+ 595. SPORTING PICTURES IN COLOR (WATERCOLORS). Howitt (SAMUEL). Set of 
oh four ORIGINAL SPORTING DRAWINGS by Samuel Howitt: (1) Woodcock 
x Shooting; (2) Pheasant Shooting, (3) Partridge Shooting, (4) Wild Duck 
i. Shooting. Pencil drawings touched with watercolors. Each drawing measures, 
24 height, 14 inches; length, 194% inches. Each drawing mounted down under 
4 mat and hinged to linen guard, with specially prepared title-page, and 
- bound in royal atlas folio, full dark green levant morocco, sides with double 


a 
x 


frame of gilt fillets with small emblematic sporting tool in gilt in each 
corner, gilt back with emblematic tooling, heavy inside gilt borders, gilt 
edges, BY RIVIERE. 


UNIQUE COLLECTION. ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY HOWITT BEING OF SURPASSING 
RARITY IN PUBLIC SALES EITHER IN THIS COUNTRY OR ABROAD. The drawings are in 
perfect condition, free from stains or breaks. The drawings, ‘‘ Pheasant Shooting”’ 
and “Partridge Shooting’’ have a collector’s stamp in corner partially covered by 
the mat, the letters, ‘““A. P. E.”’ being all left visible. 

These beautiful drawings vary to a considerable extent from the published designs 
in Orme’s “ British Field Sports,’’ and also from the AQUATINT PRINTS of the same 
subjects offered in the following item, some of the striking differences being,— 

““Woodcock Shooting’’: The heads of three men are shown in the drawing where 
only two appear in the print and four dogs in place of three. The outlines of the trees 
are also materially different. 

‘“*Pheasant Shooting’’: The entire drawing is reversed, the men’s costumes are 
different, and the four dogs are grouped together. In this drawing the trees and 
foliage also are quite different from the print. 

‘‘Partridge Shooting’: The drawing shows two men and three dogs in the fore- 

- ground with another huntsman holding a dog in leash standing beside his mount 
against a high fence in the background at the right, with faint outlines of a house and 
farm country in the distance at the left. The aquatint does not show the third man 
with the dog in leash, the entire design being of quite different character. 

““Wild Duck Shooting’’: In this drawing the figures of the huntsmen stand close 

_ together at the right in deep grass, the dogs plunging through the grass and into the 
water before them, the trees bunched in the center of the drawing with one duck in 
flight at the upper left, while the aquatint shows trees on either side and the marshy 
grass and water in the center.

(2) “The Birmingham Mail near Aylesbury. The Guard Banbury proceeding 
with the Bags.”’” A blinding flurry of snow is falling, while the mail coach is 
struggling on. Another coach, in a deplorable condition, is lying in the deep 
snow, with the horses detached, one mounted by a rider. Two men are helping 
the horses drawing the first coach make their way in the drift. 

(3) ‘‘The Bruce Passing the Peveril Coach and Manchester Mail.’’ Depicts a 
coach unable to proceed farther in the deep snow, therefore the gentlemen are 
assisting the ladies to descend. A passing coach, quite full, is experiencing less 
difficulty in its progress. (Slightly spotted.) 

(4) ‘‘The Holyhead and Chester Mails, at Heckley Hill, near Dunstable.”’ The 
mail coaches and their teams are almost submerged in the great white blanket 
of snow covering the wide wastes. A rider is thrown from his seat and the pas-

through a heavy snow storm. The coachman and footman are huddled up in 
their greatcoats braving the biting wind and blinding snow. The horses are 
galloping at a rapid pace along the English moors. A lone traveler and his 
canine companion are slowly wending their way along the route. 

(6) ‘The Liverpool Mail near St. Albans.’’ While driving through a deep snow- 
fall, the mail coach is tipping, precipitating a passenger into the soft snow. 
Another coach is in a distressing condition, being almost buried beneath the 
white blanket. A lady, imprisoned within, is calling to the passing coach for aid.

[No. 644. THOREAU—Continued | 

A Most REMARKABLE AND LENGTHY LETTER as interesting as the beautiful de- 
scriptive tales he has written which have made him one of the foremost of American 
essayists, 

This communication displays the great naturalist’s love of nature and the out- 
doors, more than any that has come up for public sale in recent years. Part of this 
lengthy letter follows:—‘‘ We made an excellent beginning of our new life. You may 
remember that the Saturday previous was.a stormy day. Well we went up in the rain, wet 
through and found ourselves in a cloud there at mid p. m., in no situation to look about for 
the best place for a camp. Sol proceeded at once, through the cloud to that memorable stone 
‘church yard’ in which we made our humble camp once, and there after putting our packs 
under a rock, having a good hatchet, I proceeded to build a substantial house, which C. 
declared the handsomest he ever saw. (He never camped out before, and was, no doubt, 
prejudiced in its favor.) This was done about dark and by that time we were nearly as wet as 
if we had stood in a hogshead of water. We then built a fire before the door, directly on the 
site of our little camp of two years ago, and it took a long time to burn thro its remains to 
the earth beneath. Standing before this and turning round slowly, like meat that is 
roasting, we were as dry if not drier than ever after a few hours so at last we ‘turned in!

telegraphed you asking you to stop the printing of the twelfth chapter. This is exceedingly 
necessary and even if tt is already printed, the printed matter must be destroyed and the 
following additions, which are herewith enclosed, must be made. This is important not 
only for the purpose of the success of the book, but also for my conscience. Due to the in- 
discretion of one of my friends who gave this chapter to an English correspondent, the 
description of the execution tn Orsha has been printed and reprinted in many newspapers. 
This narration created a sensation in Russian governmental spheres and the whole book ts 
falsly interpreted as a denunciation of the Russian conduct of administration. . . . 

(2) Also a fine letter referring to one of his manuscripts sent for translation to 
the editor of the “Stuttgart.” : 

(3) This letter gives one a glimpse of the beauty of character this great Russian 
novelist possessed. This is evidenced by the following lines extracted from the com- 
munication: ‘J am glad you are contributing to ‘ Posrednik’ and above all, that you have, 
as you write me, a great desire to help others in the spirit of Christ. . . .””

_AN EXTREMELY RARE MANUSCRIPT. By THE GREATEST OF MODERN RUSSIAN 
WRITERS, NONE OF WHOSE Mss. ARE ALLOWED TO BE TAKEN FROM RUSSIA. This 
manuscript was originally obtained directly from the novelist’s son, Count Leo Leo- 
vitch Tolstoy, and is the only Ms., or portion of one, that can now be offered for sale, 
as all of Tolstoy’s MSS., including his novels, essays, personal journals and letters 
have been donated to the National Museum at Moscow, to be preserved in per- 
petuity. Moreover, no MS. of Tolstoy would on any consideration be allowed now to 
leave Russia. This item is, therefore, a prize of the first magnitude, being the manu- 
script of one of the most famous short stories of Tolstoy, the greatest writer Russia 
has produced, and by some considered the greatest intellect of the XIXth century. 

In this particular manuscript the personal touch of Tolstoy, his method of compo- 
sition, and the amazing fecundity of his thought are strikingly exhibited. Comparing 
the MS. with the printed version, it is evident that some portions of it were not 
incorporated in the final draft, and are, therefore, unpublished.
